ECG024/0498 WHITE PAPER (cont.) ... so the system administrator can quickly identify system failures. For example, as shown in Table 1, each IML entry provides a status, which correlates to the severity level of each event. Table 1: Compaq Integrated Management Log Viewer Severity Levels Icon Term Description Informational A comprehensive chronicle of past hardware or software system events. This type of event requires no action by the administrator. Repaired An action has taken place to fix this system event and the user marked this event as being "repaired." Caution A non-critical system error has occurred and may or may not require action by the administrator, however, it is recommended to take action if possible, then mark the event as "repaired." Critical A system component on the unit has failed and requires action by the administrator. Replace the system component, and then mark the event as "repaired." This information provides a status on the condition of the hardware or software so the user can take the appropriate action to monitor or repair the system event that occurred in the IML. Marking events as "repaired" is discussed later in this document. Along with the severity level, the utility also provides a wealth of additional information to system administrators increasing the serviceability of Compaq servers. Listed below are the event fields found in the Compaq IML Viewer along with a description of each field type: • Description - A brief description or account of the event including the location such as slot number or port number. • Class - The category of the event such as in the disk subsystem, operating system, power subsystem, etc. • Severity - The rating of the system event such as Informational, Repaired, Caution or Critical, where Informational is the lowest level and Critical is the highest. Refer to Table 1 for descriptions of severity levels. • Count - The number of times the event has occurred since the user cleared the log or since the initial startup of the system. • Updated Time - The time and date the event was last updated. An IML event is updated when an administrator marks an entry as repaired. Each recorded event has a time stamp of one-minute granularity. • Initial Time - The time and date stamp of the first occurrence of the system event. 4
